QUINOA BREAKFAST BOWL

Quinoa Breakfast Bowl image

Quinoa has been around for a while, but I'm just now jumping on the quinoa breakfast bowl bandwagon. I've made it several times as a savory side or salad, but never as a warm breakfast cereal. I finally gave it a try last weekend and loved it! -Erica Schmidt, Kansas City, Kansas
